I used to have a ton of trouble with my SI! Try reading Kyra Kyrklund’s book. It is really easy to understand and helped me a LOT! Good luck!
thx for the hint

The single thing that helped me the most with SI was pulling my inside shoulder back and up. It’s probably straight now, but thinking up keeps me from dropping it. By doing that my body is suddenly perfectly aligned for the shoulder in and my horse does it naturally. Before, I was trying to bend her around my inside leg and by the end of a couple attempts my leg was aching. My instructor got it through my head by telling me to turn my shoulder as if I was looking at someone behind me, in a tree, not on the ground.[/QUOTE]
Hey Jesterjigger, just wanted to tell you this was a great suggestion (looking at tree level). I have been practicing various movements while watching ‘trees’ the last week since I read your post and it has been very helpful to my posture and the mare’s movement.
Happy holidays.
